ROCKINGHAM, N.C. -
Notes from final, round 3 qualifying in Pro Nitrous at the 2013 ADRL Tour presented by Speedtech, Dragpalooza IX listing lane,
driver name, elapsed time/top speed this round, position in order following run, best prior elapsed time/speed, and position in
order prior to run:
Left Lane: John Decerbo Runs 3.926/186.92, Now #4; Best prior run: 4.080/178.50, Was #9
Right Lane: John Hall Runs 4.300/131.95, Now #6; Best prior run: 3.934/192.44, Was #5

Two good-looking runs, Laurita slower than his second run, Franklin finally close to a competitive pace and in the
shortened field. Left Lane: John Vergotz Runs 4.504/119.80, Now #11; Best prior run: 4.066/181.45, Was #10
Right Lane: Randy Weatherford Runs 3.930/193.35, Now #5; Best prior run: 9.356/46.11, Was #12

Both cars were moving around, Vergotz moving toward the wall and lifting. Weatherford moved to the left of the groove,
but didn't lift and moved into the field as a reward for his bravery, Vergotz is on the outside. Left Lane: Travis Harvey Runs 4.066/179.28, Now #11; Best prior run: 4.019/183.84, Was #10
Right Lane: Pat Stoken Runs 3.905/193.49, Now #4; Best prior run: 4.183/138.31, Was #12

Stoken came back to form with a last-chance run to move into the field, in the top half. Left Lane: Steve Jackson Runs 3.782/196.04, Now #1; Best prior run: 3.828/193.54, Was #1
Right Lane: Mike Castellana Runs 6.027/77.33, Now #7; Best prior run: 3.933/192.14, Was #7

Wow! Jackson just made an awesome run, making big improvements on both ends of his career-bests. Castellana shook and
slowed.
